Cross-polarisation measurements at 13 GHz on a slant terrestrial path: Comparison between circular and linear horizontal polarisation
Abstract
Atmospheric precipitation effect on a 11/14 GHz radio link with circular and linear horizontal polarization between the Jungfraujoch (3690 m) and a lower site at 1090 m are described. The frequency used was 13 GHz, and the elevation angle was 14 deg for a total path length of 10 km. Three years of measurements, including three summer seasons, have been obtained over this link. It is evidenced that from a simple propagation point of view linear horizontal (or vertical) polarization would be preferable to circular for systems based on frequency reuse by polarization discrimination.
